Had someone from the MailChimp design or development team reached out and asked me to take the resource down, I totally would have understood. This is what happened, and yet here we are. You did something they weren't comfortable with. They sent you a friendly, personal letter asking you to please not do that. You responded with an irate blog post and ran to HN for support. Why should anyone be sympathetic?
